The Media Policy Project was launched in January 2011 with an initial award granted by the Higher Education Innovation Fund (HEIF4) at ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳. It is now made possible by a grant from the Knowledge Exchange of the HEIF at ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳ (HEIF5) and is also supported by Open Society Foundations. The project’s Director and current Chairman of the Advisory Board is Charlie Beckett. The project is supported by an enthusiastic and dedicated group of interns and project assistants.
